Strategies for Improving Productivity
Vehicle weighing can potentially be a bottleneck that negatively affects a facility’s overall throughput. Preventing backups at a vehicle scale is necessary to increase productivity.
Backups often delay deliveries of bulk material, causing shortages downstream or requiring you to maintain higher inventory levels to compensate. For both the meeting of production goals and the reduction of operating cost, traffic must be kept moving over the scale.
Weighing capacity
Long lines of trucks during peak periods are a frequent sign of insufficient weighing capacity. But adding a second vehicle scale increases a facility’s productivity by enabling trucks to haul more loads. It also relieves traffic congestion and allows a business to grow.
Unattended weighing
An effective strategy for efficiency in weighing is to enable drivers to process their own weighing transactions. By eliminating the need for a scale operator, an unattended weighing system can reduce costs, and increase transaction speed by up to 50 percent. Don’t let vehicle weighing slow down operations. Learn about strategies for improving productivity. This article includes ideas about how increased capacity and how unattended weighing can save time and money.
